SECURITY ALERT – Fraudulent Emails (Phishing Warning)

We would like to inform all participants of the IHC Symposium 2026 about fraudulent emails currently being circulated.
 
Several participants have reported receiving emails from the address presidentqboard@gmail.com, in which the sender falsely claims to represent the IHC board and requests assistance with processing a payment.
 
Please be advised that:
  • These messages are fraudulent (phishing attempts)
  • The organizers and the IHC board will never request financial assistance via email in this manner
  • Most symposium-related payments have already been completed, and no such requests are legitimate
We strongly advise all participants:
  • Do not reply to these emails
  • Do not make any payments or share personal or financial information
Official communication regarding the symposium is sent exclusively from:
  • sara@da-riva.hr
  • info@ihcsymposium2026.com
Prof. Dražen Lušić will communicate only via his official institutional email:
  • drazen.lusic@medri.uniri.hr
or through the official symposium email above—never via a Gmail address.
 
If you receive any suspicious messages, we kindly ask you to report them to the organizers.

Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
